Samuel L Jackson has hopped off his super yacht and straight onto the set of Spider-Man: Far From Home.

After enjoying a month-long holiday across Europe, the 69-year-old was seen in London on Tuesday, filming scenes as his Marvel character, Nick Fury, at Tower Bridge. Perhaps even more exciting is that Samuel was joined by actress Cobie Smulders, who is reprising her role as Maria Hill.

Dream team!

Both dressed in all black outfits, Cobie and Samuel – wearing Nick Fury’s trademark eyepatch – looked ready for some serious business as they marched around the grounds of office blocks in Tower Bridge. Yep it’s real, cameras were rolling and errthang.

An eagle-eyed Marvel fan luckily noticed something pretty important was going on just outside their office and managed to sneak a photo of the Hollywood stars in full-on scene mode. The Twitter user excitedly captioned the image: ‘@SamuelLJackson and @CobieSmulders shooting as nick fury and maria hill in our office courtyard!!!! #nickfury #FarFromHome.’

Another Marvel fan on Reddit managed to film a video of the action, with their clip showing Samuel and Cobie, 36, getting directions from production before launching into their walk-and-talk scene.

Pretty cool.

This new SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME set video from London gives us our first look at @SamuelLJackson's Nick Fury alongside @CobieSmulders' Maria Hill in the movie!

Nick Fury’s fate was thought to be up in the air after the devastating events of Avengers: Infinity War but clearly, he and Maria are still very much part of the universe.

Teasing the process of his transformation from Sammy J into Nick Fury, Samuel announced his arrival on the UK set by sharing a photo from the make-up chair. The actor captioned the image: ‘Back in the box!!! Let the games begin.’

Plot details for Far From Home are yet to be revealed but it is rumoured that Nick Fury will finally act as a mentor for Spider-Man, which was going to happen in Homecoming until director, Jon Watts, changed his mind.

Samuel will return as Nick Fury a lot sooner as the character will also appear in Captain Marvel, set for release on 8 March 2019.

The cooler climes of London is a stark change of scenery for Samuel, who has spent the past month sunning himself on a luxury yacht along the Mediterranean coastline, sailing past Monaco, St Tropez and Italy.
